  • Mass Effect 5: BioWare Doesn't 'Require Support From the Full Studio', EA Moves Some Staff to Other Teams

    Jump

  • We will look back on this move when mass effect fails to deliver I think.

  • PixelFed has increased the Fediverse's monthly active users by over 40% in the last few weeks, how do we feel?

    Jump

  • Pixelfed.social

    Using the app. It doesn't even load for me on browser. I am assuming it doesn't work on browser because of something I got in unblock because it loads on mobile browser but it's very unresponsive on mobile browser for me.

  • Nothing works on pixelfee for me. Half the photos are just black. It shows an account has a lot of posts, but I don't see anything. Searches being up results but selecting one of those results produces zero results.

    How are y'all getting pixelfed to work?

  • Is there much difference between Temu, AliExpress and Ebay?

  • It's like normal slave work, but they don't try to hide it.

  • There is too many different versions of starship troopers to have a meaningful conversation about the logistics of how they travel. But there are transport bugs capable of interstellar travel. The first one was located on Pluto, so they were already in our system. Depending on which version of Starship Troopers you bring up Buenos Aires was either attacked directly by the bugs or had a meteor destroy it.

    And the bugs have to have some sort of FTL travel since the humans followed the first transport bug back to the Arachnid homeworld. If that would take billions of years then the humans wouldn't have been able to follow them back after they left Sol.

    Starship Troopers is full of plot holes and inconsistencies that would, again, likely prevent us from having a meaningful conversation about the logistics of the Arachnids.

  • What's a phrase you misinterpreted the meaning of for the longest time?

    Jump

  • 'You only use 10% of your brain' is only referring to the physical areas of your brain. Which is not true, because we have scans that can show that we use all areas of the brain.

    I always thought that saying was referring to how we only use 10% of our brains potential.

  • Disregard to human life and health isn't limited to a fascist government though. As for the propaganda, I always took that at making fun of the military and their over the top commercials and other media.

    I never compared it to the actual government.

  • Let's just say that the government does just rain bombs from orbit. They are humans, there are gonna be dudes that want to get their feet on the ground to start shooting things. Regardless of the type of government, humans are creatures of destruction. People are gonna want to shoot an alien bug for a multitude of reasons. Glory, honor, to prove themselves, fascist government or not, people will be lining up around the block to sign up for an interstellar opportunity to be a 'badass'.

  • The bugs colonized entire planets and has an empire that rivals the humans. That is far from being a mindless, non-sentient creature. If anything that screams they are more intelligent than humans because the bugs just shoot massive spores into space to accomplish all that.

  • You won't find me hanging out with them, I'm afraid.

    Jump

  • Okay, sure. But how is the bugs attacking first unlikely, when they are able to calculate that kind of interstellar trajectory to colonize all the other planets in their empire? They shoot spores into space and hit other planets to colonize.

    Why could the bugs not have shot a colonizing spore at earth, or another human controlled planet, and that was perceived as an attack? The bugs empire rivaled the human empire after all.

    Or am I missing something obvious here?

  • So, I have read and been told this many times before. Some times I will rewatch the movie to try and see that narrative. And I'll admit, I'm and idiot. But I can't get past the idea of: Bugs are just icky, no matter the size. Remove at all costs.

  • Does anyone else have a negative perception of a product/service solely because of spam advertising?

    Jump

  • I have a rule that if I see a commercial or an unskipable ad (even if it's unskipable for the first five seconds) on YouTube or wherever. That I never buy that product.

  • It's a race to the bottom now. And the Republicans have a huge head start. Dems are nosediving to catch up.

  • What is a food that you used to dislike but now enjoy?

    Jump

  • Biscuits and gravy. It's the most American thing I do is pig out on some good biscuits and gravy.

  • I don't think that's a good comparison. If a person doesn't follow a diet plan, then they are not on a diet. The diet plans effectiveness isn't brought into question in that case.

    If a "Christian" goes to church, is told they are saved and are absolved of all their sins. And then spreads their toxicity and hatred around the world. That absolutely allows the rest of us to judge their belief system.

  • How long has your PC been on for?

    Jump

  • I'm convinced the reason all my drives used to fail is because I would leave the PC on, and only reboot for updates. Otherwise I would just put them to sleep. Three years later, I turn off the PC every night and haven't had a failed drive since.
